VH1's Emmy-winning reality competition series stormed the Critics Choice Real TV Awards on Monday, becoming the only unscripted show to win multiple awards at the annual ceremony. In addition to taking the title of Best Competition Series (an honor it shared in a tie with Netflix's The Great British Baking Show), the World of Wonder production's season 13 cast collectively won the Best Ensemble in an Unscripted Series honor.

Season 13 represented one of the most diverse casts since the show's 2009 debut, including its first trans man contestant, Gottmik, Los Angeles diva (and eventual season winner) Symone, Atlanta pageant staple Tamisha Iman, ice-skating athlete Denali, as well as New York City stunners Rosé and Kandy Muse.
Elsewhere at the Critics Choice Real TV Awards, The Masked Singer and The Voice tied for top honors in the Talent/Variety category, while Dr. Pimple Popper — hosted by Sandra Lee — earned the award for Female Star of the Year, and the late Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek received a special posthumous honor.
